2.4M Skyware Global Antenna Type 243 C-Band Linear Tx/RX Class III Antenna System
Handles feed boom mounting of BUCs up to 25 lbs in weight, weather resistant hardware for harsh environmental conditions
Global Type 243 C-Band Linear Transmit Receive Antenna
The highly advanced Skyware Global Type 243 C-Band 2.4M Tx/Rx Linear Polarized Offset Antenna is a rugged commercial grade product suitable for the most demanding VSAT applications. The reflector is thermoset-molded for strength and surface accuracy. Molded into the rear of the reflector is a network of support ribs which not only strengthens the antenna, but also helps to sustain its critical parabolic shape. This ensures outstanding RF performance for transmit and receive applications such as iDirect internet service and remote satellite broadband applications.
Rugged Reflector Mount
The Skyware Type 243 Ku-Band Az/EI mount is constructed from heavy-gauge steel to provide a rigid support to the reflector. The Az/EI mount secures the antenna to a 168 mm [ 6.63" ] 0.D. metal schedule 40 pipe mast and prevents slippage in high winds.
Corrosion Proof Antenna Backstructure
A specially formulated powder paint process offers excellent protection from weather-related corrosion.
